Business Arc unveiled its latest secret weapon in their ongoing
challenge for a share of the UK’s rapidly growing Managed Services
marketplace with a unique like-for-like reward scheme.
The UK Managed Service Provider (MSP) marketplace has reinvigorated
interest in web based applications as the proliferation of good quality
un-contended bandwidth becomes a reality and new providers emerge with
alternative more attractive propositions. The marketplace for using 3rd
parties to manage email and websites has taken time to mature but from
2005 has been proven to dramatically reduce the risk and cost
implications of adopting new technologies which has in turn made them
more accessible to Small Business owners.
One emerging operator, BIZARC, was amongst the first in the UK to spot
the opportunity and has based its service plans on what they say SMB’s
want - a secure, good value service that’s flexible with their demands.
The program launched today is based on their principle of
“non-intrusive recommendations”. Participants must first register for
the scheme on the website www.bizarc.com
before they are provided with a unique link which is inserted within
their email signature. All subscriptions received through the link
become directly attributed to the participant with each service
generating service credits or reward points for every active day. These
credits may then be converted into either commission payments or for
customers real reductions in their monthly bill.
“We believe customers represent the best sales force a company can
get. Asking people to recommend you based on your merits is potentially
a frightening prospect but one where only truly valued service
providers win out… there’s no better litmus paper!” said the companies
Chief Executive, Rob Edsell.
“I appreciate there are schemes like this around but we didn’t just see
a band wagon going past and jump on it! In our opinion the few
businesses that have succeeded using customer referral schemes have
done so because they have considered the advantage to the customer and
individual -not the business itself. Our reward program has been
designed to be simple to use and completely transparent so individuals,
customers and partners can accurately chart their referrals and manage
how and when they get paid out on them”
